Below, I've tried to translate this song into English, in a way that is true to the meaning of the original, but not always a literal rendering, so that it scans and could be sung to the original tune. Niedecken is, however, a brilliant poet and I am not, but this version reflects how I interpret the song to myself.

»Doomsday Blues« is one of the Aldermaston March songs written in 1958 by Karl (Fred) Dallas to the music of »St. James Infirmary Blues« and released on a 1960 album titled »Songs Against The Bomb«. It's also the song »Weltuntergangs-Blues« is based on.(continua)
